Bill Bryan Using
Evolution To Get
Back in Limelight
DAYTON, Tens., The Scopes' evo

stone that will put William Jonnlnga
Bryan "back In the political arena aa
a candidate for the democratic presi

Ilryan has given the Scopes case
an entirely new twlat by his warn
ing that should the supreme court
throw out the Tennessee law, he
would seek to overthrow that de
clalon by an uppeul to Hie country
' This utterance, made Just on the
eve of the trial. Is regarded as fore'
casting the return of Bryan to the ,
political limelight, especially In view
of his plan to make a pilgrimage
to the holy land soon after the case
Is over. Ills return from that pil
grimage, hla friends hope, would
rival the return of Roosevelt from
Africa, and have much greater slg
nlficance on his political ambitions.
There la further significance in
the fact that Bryan has told friends
privately here that the next demo

the south and west.

With McAdoo looking toward the

The other two governors of lead

Neither Smith nor Plnchot have
announced their Intentions as yet.
but their political frionds are study
ing the field. Pinchot's recent vig

Treasury Mellon was regarded as
a forerunner of a formal announce

is supported by Mellon. Pinchot's
bid for the senate Is looked upon as
a step toward presidential aims.
California Is regarded normally aa

General Strike
Of Coal Miners
May Be Averted
ATLANTIC. CITY, N. J.. July 8.
(United News) llotb anthracite
coal miners and operators will en
ter their conferenoe here Thursday
with grave fears that a strike will
be the outcome of the discussions,
according to statements Issued Wed
nesday night by both sides.
Miners and operators, their state
ments said, will have the lntereata
of the coal consuming public at
heart, however, and both declared
should a atrlke result, the blame
will reat with the other side.
Samuel D. Warrlner, president of
the Lehigh Coal and Navigation
company of Philadelphia answered a
charge made by Ellis Searles, of
Indianapolis, editor, of the United
Mine Workere' Journal that the op
erator would enter luto the nego
tiations with their minds made up
to refuse the demands of the min
ora, thereby causing a strike which
would raise the price of coul stocks
now on hand.
"That la pure bunk and a charge
which has no basis," Warrlner
said. "The formnl reply of the op
erators will be made Thursday, but
I want to state emphatically that
we will do everything we possibly
can to avoid a cessation of work
In the mines. If there is any such
cessation It will not he the fault of
the operators."
John L. Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers of America
said the present agreement between
the miners and operators will con
tinue In effect for seven weeks
more. In that length of time, he
aaid. It should be possible to ne
gotiate a new agreement at this
conference.

Dr. Charrlngton is general secre

operates hundreds of thousands of I

"Knowledge of the truth will

the inexorable economic law of the

"The unskilled laborora of yes

"American moral and religions

FUND TO CHECK
WAR PROFITEER
rffEW YORK, July 8. (United

merly chairman of the war Indus
tries board, bas backed up his be
lief that wealth should be conscript
ed in times of war. by establishing

to "take the profit out of war."

cording to an announcement by
Owen D. Young, co-author of the

Although the gift will probably
total $250,000, Young aaid, It may
run higher, according to the cost of
the research In the particular sub
ject in, which Baruch is interested
himself.
Baruch had long advocated the
conscription of wealth and Industry
In war time as a deterrent to the
activities of Jingoes in peace time,
"In a similar emergency, there ougbt
to be not alone a mobilization of
man power, but of things and dol
lar." be declared ln a published
statement. This measure he be
lieved, would be a powerful agency
toward preventing war.

ment of the fund was the answer
and the gift was accepted unani
mously by the board of trustees.
